Police in Oyo State rescue a one-month-old baby girl who is allegedly sold for N2 million. Reports say the child was taken into police custody after the alleged sale by the mother was brought to authorities’ attention, with arrests following soon after.
Outlets describe the case as involving the baby’s 23-year-old mother and the owner of the health facility where the child was delivered. Police also arrest two suspects, though one report notes that another person linked to the allegation may still be sought. The incidents are reported to have occurred in Ido Local Government Area of Ibadan. Some sources present the amount in different terms—either N2 million or about US$1,500—while all agree the matter is under investigation.
